peaceful. They went back home in the evening.

“Your grandparents had a very exciting life, said Mr. Brown to his children.”Your
grandfather was a journalist and wrote for a newspaper during the Second World War. He
had many adventures in Europe and colaborated with American spies in Germany. He
even won a medal for his courage. Your grandmother became a volunteer during the war
and worked with other women: They made planes in a factory. She learned to fly an
airplane and participated in competitions”

bridge over a stream. I went there to swim many times.

On the coast

(Elsa habla a sus amigas de su gran deseo: vivir en la Costa)- I like the
coast. I love the views to a beach from a cliff. I also like the vegetation.
The palm trees, for example, are so exotic. And the sea. I like listening
to the waves breaking on the shore. Besides, temperatures are always
moderate near the sea, winter is short and summer comes soon.

OBSERVE

La preposición de lugar on aparece varias veces aquí: on the beach, on the

coast, on the shore, etc. son tres casos en que el hispanohablante suele
equivocarse y realizar la traducción literal in the beach , in the shore…
Memorice, pues, el uso de on con beach, shore, y coast.

APRENDA

12
En esta lección salen nuevos verbos acompañados de preposición: go
back, (volver), que está en pasado simple y, por tanto, aparece como
went back; put on (ponerse) que se emplea sobre todo para hablar
de la ropa; por último watch out, que significa “vigilar”

.LOOK / LIKE / LOOK LIKE

LIKE no siempre es un verbo. Cuando se pregunta What´s he like?

esta palabra hace otra función y se traduce por “como, igual”. Para
preguntar sobre el aspecto físico de alguien se utiliza también to look
(“mirar”), en determinados contextos puede significar “parecer, tener
aspecto”.

APRENDA

En el verbo to look like la “s” de la tercera persona de singular en el

tiempo presente se añade a la palabra look, que es la que realmente
funciona como verbo. Por ejemplo se diría It´s looks like a diamont,
doesn´t it?

LOS VERBOS LOOK Y LOOK LIKE

* To look se utiliza para preguntar sobre el aspecto físico de alguien o

señalar su parecido:
What does he look like ? (qué aspecto tiene ?
You look like a king (pareces un rey)

*To look se usa para comentar que alguien “parece” más alto, menos
viejo, tan divertido, etc.
They don´t look British. (No parecen británicos)
He doesn´t so old (El no parece tan mayor)

13
PREGUNTAS Y COMPARACIONES

CUANDO LIKE NO ES UN VERBO

• Sirve para preguntar cómo es una persona o cosa

what´s his girlfriend like ? (cómo es su novia ?)

what was the city like ? (cómo era la ciudad?)

•Sirve para expresar que dos objetos o personas son iguales o

similares:
They´re like mine. (son como los míos)

OBSERVE

La diferencia entre look y look like es muy sutil: el primero va delante

de un adjetivo (you look tired) = “pareces cansado”:
El segundo precede a un nombre (you look like a child) = “pareces
un niño”.

AUNT GRETA
Elsa cuenta cómo es su tía Greta.

My aunt looks very young, like my mother. But she´s 47 years old.
What does she look like? She is quite tall and his curly hair andexotic
eyes. Her chin is like my grandmother´s and she also smiles like her.
Greta’s very pretty: she looks like a goodess.

WHAT´S THE WEATHER LIKE ?

15
Los weather forecast son las previsiones del tiempo que aparecen
en los periódicos o la televisión. Aquí hay algunas claves para
interpretarlas y mantener una charla del tema. Hablar del tiempo es
siempre una buena forma de empezar una conversación.
En inglés hay muchas expresiones relacionadas con la meteorología,
como rain or shine (“pase lo que pase”) o for a rainy day (“en caso de
necesidad”).

OBSERVE

Preguntamos qué tiempo hace con la fórmula What´s the weather

like ? La respuesta sería It´s más un adjetivo adecuado, por ejemplo,
foggy. It´s foggy

APRENDA

En inglés, para formar el vocabulario que describe la meteorología se

convierte al sustantivo en adjetivo: de sun (“sol”) proviene sunny
(soleado); de snow(“nieve”) nace snowy (“nevoso”); de wind (“viento”),
windy(“ventoso”); y así con casi todos los términos.

A DIFFERENT WEATHER

Olaf habla de la diferencia climática entre California y Suecia.

What a different weather. Here in California the weather is sunny and

warm in summer. It is a bit rainy, too, but it does not snow in winter. In
Sweden it is not very warm in summer and, in winter, it is cloudy and
the temperatures are really low.

WEATHER ADJECTIVES

16
Sunny = Soleado
Mainly sun = Bastante sol
Overcast = Nublado
Sun and rain = Sol y lluvia
Heavy sea = marejada
Foggy = Nebuloso
Rainy = Lluvioso
Stormy = Tormentoso
Snowy = Nevoso
Windy = Ventoso

PRACTICE EXERCISES

I FEEL SO HAPPY TODAY

Empleamos las palabras so y such para añadir énfasis a nuestras

afirmaciones. (“Hoy me siento tan feliz”). El uso de uno u otro término
depende de los elementos gramaticales presentes en la frase, como
se comenta a continuación.

18
EL USO DE SO

SO: tan/tantos/s
She is so kind and has so many friends.
Ella es tan amable y tiene tantos amigos

EL USO DE SUCH

SUCH: tan/ tanto/s

It´s such terrible work. And he´s such a good worker

Es un trabajo tan horrible. Y él es tan buen trabajador.

APRENDA

Se utiliza SO delante de adjetivos que no acompañan a ningún

sustantivo (I feel so happy) o bien delante de much, many y otros
adjetivos cuantitativos. En cambio SUCH se emplea delante de
adjetivos que llevan sustantivo (There´s a such ugly furniture). Si el
nombre es contable y singular se añade el artículo indefinido a/an (he
´s such a good worker)

MARY IS SUCH A FUNNY PERSON

Mr Brown y Meg, su secretaria comentan cómo es la nueva
recepcionista de la empresa.

Mr Brown: She is so professional

Meg: Yes, she is. Ans she´s such a funny woman. She always smiles,
come rain or shine
Mr Brown: Has she got a lot of experience in her job ?

19
Meg: Yes, she has. He worked for many companies.
Mr Brown: I´m glad that Mr Carpenter employed her
